Indian JurisdictionTribal Options

Unless the governing body of the tribe exercising jurisdiction over
the
situs of the crime has elected for their application, neither the death
penalty
provision, the "three strikes" provision, nor the enhanced juvenile transfer
provision of Pub. L. 103-322, enacted September 23, 1994, applies to
offenses for
which the sole basis for federal jurisdiction is that the offense was
committed
in Indian country. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 3598, 3559(c) and 5032
§
8214, respectively.
